Predictions

The last time Renegades played in Europe was ESL One Cologne, and just before that was IEM Gamsecon. Both times, they didn’t do great. At IEM Gamescon they were 2-4, with their only wins against SK gaming. That was a while ago, but Renegades haven’t played any elite teams since ESL One Cologne. At Cologne they went out in groups by losing to NiP and TSM. At least they beat Titan, but their results against the stronger teams were underwhelming, with only five rounds against NiP. Renegades have improved a lot since their first European LAN and I don’t mean to trash talk them, but They should be at a disadvantage here. The key factor for Renegades winning here is if AZR goes huge AND his teammates do well too.

Dignitas recently signed Schneider, and ever since they’ve been doing great. They’ve been winning nearly all of their CEVO BO2s against teams like Reason, Penta, and Schneider has been going huge for them too. In their last ten maps alone, Schneider has had a +49 K/D. Dignitas haven’t really been playing any tough teams however, so I’m not sure how they’ll do against Renegades. I do believe they should be favored here, and so the right bet is small on Dignitas. Good luck!
